A Green Day 'Best of' is IMPOSSIBLE!


TripleB

Recommended Posts

I put all my current Green Day CDs (1039 SOSH, Kerplunk, Dookie, Insomniac, Int. SH) on the computer this morning in order to start creating a 'Best of Green Day CD.'

I've got American Idiots and BIAB coming within the next week so I figured I'd get a head start in trimming down the list so I could get 'The Best of Green Day' on 1 disc (80 minutes of music).

After going through 1,039 and Kerplunk I decided that it was going to have to become a 2 disc set (160 minutes).

Now after going through Insomniac and Dookie I just don't think there is any hope of creating a 'Best of Green Day' set....

....THERE ARE JUST NOT THAT MANY SONGS YOU CAN LEAVE OUT!!!

Has anyone else hear tried to create a 'Green Day Best of" CD set? If so, how did you leave out that many great songs???

I simply went through and took my "18 favorite songs of GD." It can be a bit difficult but you have to narrow things down a bit to fit them in. Mine was comprised of:

1. Working Class Hero

2. Longview

3. Basket Case

4. Brain Stew

5. Nice Guys Finish Last

6. Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life)

7. Take Back

8. Church on Sunday

9. Castaway

10. Hold On

11. Deadbeat Holiday

12. Warning

13. Minority

14. Walking Contradiction

15. Jesus of Suburbia

16. At the Library

17. Don't Leave Me

18. Christie Road

Although I'am still missing the Shenanigans CD in my collection, that is the "Best of Green Day," cd I made for myself to listen to. Of course, not everyone will agree on the songs I've picked.

the best way to avoid this problem, is don't create a 'best of' CD. just listen to all of them :lol:

Don't talk rubbish.

Of course there are a collection of Green Day songs that stand above the rest.

I know what you mean. I find it impossible to choose a favourite GD album because of it.

I made a CD of my favourite Green Day songs, but that was years ago.

I'd say, from the top of my head, my favourite 20 Green Day songs, in no particular order, are;

1. Burnout

2. Babs Uvula Who

3. At The Library

4. Holiday

5. Castaway

6. Pulling Teeth

7. Homecoming

8. Only Of You

9. Armatage Shanks

10. Sassafras Roots

11. Westbound Sign

12. American Idiot

13. St. Jimmy

14. Welcome To Paradise

15. The Judges Daughter

16. The Grouch

17. Nice Guys Finish Last

18. Scattered

19. Words I Might Have Ate

20. One Of The Razorbacks

Well I like to have a CD of all my favourites in the same place-it's handy when I'm out for a drive or in work and I don't want to carry a bunch of albums around with me :)

Nah, I couldn't use an Ipod in work serving customers. Also, I don't drive myself and am always just a passenger in a friends car-it would be rude to listen to an Ipod :lol:
